Didn't know this lmao. Kind of funny since gene debs was like a heavy conservative growing up and almost the exact opposite of a beatnik

It's an example of how the socialist history of the US was completely memory-holed. The labor movement makes a modicum of progress, and it is very quickly filtered out of cultural memory via lazy jokes.

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
